Hehe this made me laugh out loud. Literally. And I never use that acronym.

"Master Meriadoc," said Aragorn, "if you think that I have passed through the mountains and the realm of Gondor with fire and sword to bring herbs to a careless soldier who throws away his gear, you are mistaken. If your pack has not been found, then you must send for the herb-master of this House. And he will tell you that he did not know that the herb you desire had any virtues, but that it is called westmansweed by the vulgar, and galenas by the noble, and other names in other tongues more learned, and after adding a few half-forgotten rhymes that he does not understand, he will regretfully inform you that there is none in the House, and he will leave you to reflect on the history of tongues."

That reminded me so much of Gandalf, so it wasn't a surprise when Pippin says:
"Was there ever any one like him? Except Gandalf, of course. I think they must be related."

And then the image of Gandalf and Aragorn being related (picture Ian McKellen and Viggo Mortensen) just set me chuckling and chortling.

hehe and then Pippin calls Merry an "ass". "My dear ass" to be exact. :D

Oh how happy they make me.
